Frustrating experience - Winair

“Frustrating experience”

We waited in line over an hour (THAT BARELY MOVED) - for no apparent reason, nearly missing our flight. Every individual that we dealt with was extremely rude and unprofessional. On our way to the plane (being escorted by a Winair employee) we were accused of ruining her day and not knowing how to follow protocol even though all of the tardiness was completely out of control. I found this whole experience disorganized and rather frustrating. Unfortunately this is the only airline with this flight path not giving you any option (which is understandable for such a small location)

We'd heard from friends that this was a difficult airline to use but that it was better than using the ferry.

"It's only a 9 minute flight", they'd say.

It was a 9 minute flight that turned into a 3 hours ordeal.

The staff is disorganized and unfriendly.

Our experience was chaotic.

They didn't post the flight number on the boards. We watched carefully and listened carefully. We missed the flight and were put on standby for a flight that was 30 minutes later. We saw members of the staff being rude to other guests who were also trying to manage the chaos and not miss flights. "Get out of the way".

We waited in a hot hallway for 30 minutes to wait for the hot bus to get on the even hotter plane. No air flow.

Fortunately, the person who ushered us onto the plane had a pleasant smile.

It is our first time to St. Bart's, and after that travel experience, all we could think was "This island better be awesome to justify this sort of difficult travel experience to get onto it."

Many folks paid for VIP service. From what we saw, all it meant was that someone helped manage the chaos and help you get onto the flight...which may have been worth it...but it's ridiculous that it had to be that way to start with.

This market is ripe for a smart business person with experience in this industry to come offer something of true value to the sort of clientele who travels to St. Barths.

Arrived from St Marten then ask staff if I could go on an earlier flight. She was rude after reviewing my tickets and said wait. Small plane that sits 8-10 people.No first class unless you hire a private plane. Waited ten minutes and went back to ask the same female employee to see when the next plane will take off. Instead of answering she rolled her eyes and said soon. Sat down and waited then I heard a man complaining about the same staff as being rude.In the end another staff came by and I and few others got the boarding pass. Flights every twenty minutes and flight time is only 15 mins only.
